when you say 4 piston caliper, it means 2 per side, 4 pistons total.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about...anyway, here is an update on the problem that I originally posted:

We finally got a chance to take out the caliper and found out that the broken bolt was easily removed with just a regular flat screw driver. So all we need was just a new bolt from a pick & pull and that was it. We should have tried to look at the broken bolt and tried to remove it in the first place rather than trying to find a new caliper. It was really stupid on our part. Anyway, now we know that if we ever want a caliper...we can find one at a pick & pull for around $50.

Thanks for all your help!!

hmmm not sure if I would go to pick and pull for a brake caliper. Remember it is just a old as the one you already have and plus they have been sitting in harsh conditions with probably water in the lines etc. i always use pick n pull as a last resort or for for non-mechanical items.
